Is this a FOWLR or do you have corals as well?

Look into ways to reduce nitrates. 100 is quite high. Not good for the livestock long term as well.

Are your lights very bright & on for long hours? Light is a key contributor to this green algae.

Also look into livestock that eat algae. Tangs, snails are good options.
